Not always sure where the stair leads, but if God is leading ya don't need to know.
    It’s been a year and a half since God called me to go to Ireland and minister alongside the people of Waterford City. In that time I can clearly see that God has changed so much---not only in myself but also here in the city. When I arrived, there was no Christian fellowship.  Now we have Christians living life with each other all over this city. God has started to break down the spiritual strongholds of this city and His light is shining in.  The heaviness that has enveloped this city has begun be peeled back and God has started to slowly revive people. Because of all of this there have been many heavy spiritual attacks against all of us over here, so prayer against that would be appreciated.
    A few weeks ago we had our quarterly prayer and fasting week and God revealed His heart and plan for the city. Many of us had visions and received words from the Lord declaring, “He is breaking the chains of the city.” and, “The prayers of past generations and ours today are going to be answered soon”.  These words are so encouraging to us as believers here! Its been such a battle and often times a battle with no real obvious results. But in the past few months God has shown us clearly that he is about to take wondrous action in the city of Waterford and in Ireland. In all of this God even gave me such a clear vision of what He will do in Waterford that my heart rejoices and praises Him because its a perfect answer to prayer! Revival is coming to Waterford.
    All of this to say, God called me here and now He is calling me on to other things. Through a lot of prayer and fasting and through some very clear prophetic words from God I am actually coming back to California to seek what He would have me do further in my life. It breaks my heart to be leaving Waterford and I begin to understand Paul’s sadness when he is continually leaving the churches that he planted. However I am leaving with the knowledge that God is going to do amazing things in this city and that comforts my heart.
    I do not know what God will have me do in the future I only know the next step that He has given me. I would ask for your continued prayer for that next step that He would reveal it in his time and that I would have the courage to accept it and do His will and not my own. I thank you all for your prayer and support over all my ministry here. I would have failed without it-- I am sure.
    God is so good in how His timing works and He has provided someone to take over every little facet of my responsibilities here in the church. So I am able to leave knowing that everything is in good hands.  From leading worship to teaching--God has fully and completely replaced me over here. Now I am simply looking forward to what He has for me in the future.
    I hope this all finds you well and that God is working in you as you seek His will for your lives everyday
To God be all the Glory.
